Casey's Acting Career

[40fan]

Casey did narration for an animated holiday special called "The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas" which, as far as I know, had only one airing in 1973.

What I remember about that show was that the lead character was named Ted Edward Bear and it reminded be of the Canadian pop group Edward Bear.

In 1997 I recall seeing Casey in a PBS special "Merry Christmas George Bailey" which was a re-creation of the way "It's A Wonderful Life" was adapted for radio. Casey was part of an excellent cast!

On the 10/12/1977 countdown show, Casey advertised he was making an appearance on the Hardy Boys/ Nancy Drew Mysteries 2-part episode after playing Shaun Cassidy's "That's Rock and Roll" at #8. I found the episode on YouTube; Casey does a great Columbo impersonation!
